GOP Varieté-Theater Essen
The Essen variety theatre is one of seven venues operated by the GOP Entertainment Group, which delights more than 800,000 guests every year. This makes the GOP Entertainment Group Europe’s largest variety theatre company, the market leader in Germany and a major driving force in the variety scene as a whole.
Visitors enjoy world-class entertainment, with spectacular performances and moments of brilliant comedy. World-class artists and entertainers touch hearts and captivate the senses. The show programme and its international cast change regularly. With plenty of imagination, attention to detail and a great deal of passion, these exceptional performers showcase every facet of contemporary variety art—artistic, acrobatic, humorous and spectacular.
Innovative acrobatics, astonishing magic, offbeat humour and sensational effects—all this makes a visit to the GOP Varieté-Theater a unique experience.
Show & Dining
The GOP Varieté-Theater also creates a memorable experience before or after the show: guests can enjoy creations from the in-house kitchen and be looked after by warm and welcoming hosts at Restaurant Leander or in the theatre’s stylish surroundings.
The team led by head chef Tim Hülsewiesche lovingly prepares creative menus and delights guests with culinary finesse.
Whether you’re visiting with friends, the whole family or as a couple; whether you fancy coffee and cake or a set menu; whether you come in the afternoon or evening; whether you’re here just for the show or for a relaxing break from everyday life with an overnight stay at a GOP partner hotel—there’s an arrangement to suit every taste and occasion.
